4 Pictures of My New 3 x XM-L 2x 18650 - Dangerous?

DOA. The metal in the fourth picture was attached to the wall of the light and was contacting both springs. There were several other long pieces of metal in the same area. The supplier claims this light was inspected.

Wow! That has a lot more than just your normal, off the mass production line, amount of shavings! I really hope that the manufacturer can fix this issue for you. who is that by the way?

I only asked because I was in fact thinking of buying one of those from Manafont. I saw their name here and there and was considering.....well not anymore. Let us know how it turns out! Thanks for sharing, sorry your light arrived DOA I know that had to have been a disappointment!

Disappointed, yes and a bit angry. I don't like when a company lies to me. In the email response I was told that they (Manafont) inspect all lights. This light was not inspected. There were a half dozen metal shavings fall out onto the table the first time I opened the light. The pig tail in the photo is attached to the solder.

Are they going to replace your light at no charge? Hopefully they will not try to charge you for the extra metal included in your light

What brand is that light?

It is a SKY RAY 3*T6 3-Modes Edition Rev1.

I just went to Manafont to post a negative product review. I was curious to see if it would go through.


From their site "Oh no! Looks like the product you are looking for is no longer available."

That was fast-them dumping the revision 1. I'd do that Paypal claim and not wait unless you can get a new rev. 2 out of them. They're normally pretty responsive though.

Please keep us posted!

So the light is actually dead or just dirty?

Using jumpers I put 8.2 volts from 2 different battery sets directly to the head and nothing. These batteries test and work in other lights.

Bummer. Sounds like a good chance something fried Since you have photos I hope it isn't too hard to get it replaced.
